2020/21 Mason Holgate

[Parker]

He's gonna be really missed when it comes to playing Long Ball FC. Hopefully we can get someone like him to fill in.

 

[FtheWhat]

Ancelotti does like to overestimate the time a player needs when laid off with an injury, think he likes to take the pressure off the player, i imagine it will be closer to 6 weeks, if not sooner.

Think it's gonna be hard for him to come back into the first team when he's fit again you know, Mina/Keane looked pretty comfortable yesterday.

Mina/Keane worked against a less mobile CF. Teams who use quicker, more interchangeable front line will give them issues. The RS, City and ManU all employ that type of front line.

Nah, Holgate is still the best fit for Carlo's team.

Big Sam was right about him.

Superb defender.

They were less assured before because they had no protection from cm. They will be fine now as we have Allan and Doucouré. And we do not play the crazy Silva highline now.

Seen Sky running his injury is up to 6 weeks. I wonder if the Ancelotti quote was about Gbamin?

If he only misses about 5 league games then we've done OK. International break in October will give him a bit of time as well.

Really needs clearing up haha.

 

[Papa Shango]

I'd like to think Carlo is a little bit more clued up than The Echo

Well it's a high benchmark...

I think we need some defensive cover regardless

8 weeks is quite a positive timeframe for Gbamin given some on here think he’ll never play football again.

I think if it is 3 months though, that takes you to like the end of the year, which aligns (I think) with the early noises doesn't it?

Agreed.
